låntageres

Låntageres is the possessive form associated with the Danish noun låntager, which refers to a person who borrows something. Låntagere—the plural form—are individuals who take out a loan, borrow books from a library, or otherwise receive a loan from a lender. In legal and financial contexts, låntagere are debtors or borrowers, while the counterpart is the lender, often referred to as långiver or lånegiver.

Etymology and form. The word låntager is a compound of låne (to lend) and tager (one who takes). It is used across Danish to denote a person who takes a loan. The standard possessive is normally formed as lågantagerens for singular and låntagernes for plural in most modern Danish texts. The form låntageres is occasionally encountered but is not considered the standard genitive plural in contemporary Danish; when referring to something belonging to the borrowers as a group, låntagernes is normally used.

Usage. Låntagere are a central concept in both library science and financial contracts. In libraries, terms like låntagere and deres rettigheder (the borrowers and their rights) appear in regulations and borrower agreements. In finance and law, låntagere may have obligations such as repayment schedules, interest terms, and disclosure requirements, while långivere provide the loan and set terms.

See also. Låntagere in contrast to långivere; terms related to borrowing, such as låneaftale (loan agreement), rente (interest), and tilbagebetaling (repayment). The language distinguishes the borrower (låntager) from the lender and uses possessive forms to reference borrowers’ rights and obligations.
